Oh, gee, the Toys in the Attic SACD is rare and out of print. (eBay)

This is amazing:

Well, the Mafia did sell his guitar...

 

Gee, no picture for such a RARE disc???

 

I'm kind of funny that way. I like to actually see what I'm buying that is so rare.

 

The disc is so rare, that it has actually never been seen. Hence, there is no picture available.

Actually, the Toys in the Attic SACD is incredibly rare at my local Best Buy and Circuit City stores. They haven't gotten it yet.

 

Maybe I should order 5 if they're that rare.

 

Dave, I'm convinced that the Toys in the Attic SACD doesn't exist. Someone's pulling our leg.

 

I saw a copy at Circuit City yesterday. It did not quality for the $9.99 sale price though.

 

I bought mine at Tower last week, so I can confirm that you'll never find it there again

 

For some bizarre reason, this title IS very difficult to find on the store shelves. I have never seen it in a Best Buy or Circuit City or even Media Play. I got mine at a "list price" mall store Frye's. It was $18.99. I bought it because it was hard to find and I figured "WTF"!

 

I'm going back to see if CC still has it. Now I have to own this "rarity" before it's gone!

 

ascot, go get it! The Circuit City store I was in yesterday didn't have it.

Some should be available here, but even online, the disc is a rarity. Amazon says the stock will be replenished in December.

Odd. It's like they made 1,000 or somethin' and stopped, if only for a while (??) But it IS acting like it's OOP....

 

I checked every retail B&M store in the Dallas metroplex for several months before giving up on this SACD. Finally ordered one through Acoustic Sounds, it was worth it!!

 

I got it! $15.99 - not on sale but oh well. I sampled through some of it right away. "Sweet Emotion" is indeed, sweet. "Walk This Way" struts right on out in multi-channel.

Very nice so far. I'm listening to the rest of the album in multi-channel right now.

 

I will have to start looking online for this one. Has anyone compared the Toys SACD to tracks from it on the O, Yeah! compilation? I seem to recall someone (Mike T) saying on the music board that the Toys SACD is better. Is that the consensus?

I haven't listened to the compilation SACD in a little while, but "Sweet Emotion" sounds great on the Rolling Stone SACD sampler.

 

I haven't heard O, Yeah, but I've been told it was pretty poorly done. Toys is pretty good!

 

I have it - it's not poorly done. The one that was heavily criticized was "Just Push Play" - are you thinking of that one? I didn't buy it because of the reports on poor sound.

 

MK and Geoff, although I haven't listened to O, Yeah! in awhile, I have never had a problem with it. I just thought I had read that Toys was rated better soundwise. In any event, every review of the Just Push Play SACD I have read bashed it.

 

Maybe that was it. Or maybe I'm thinking about the regular CD...or just had a brain fart. These things happen.
